Harmonix Announces Rock Band 2!
Barely nine months after the launch of one of the most successful and innovative rhythm games of all times come the announcement of a sequel! Harmonix, MTV and EA have announced the launch of Rock Band 2 in September exclusively on the 360 (other platforms to follow). The early list of features includes backwards compatibility with Rock Band DLC, new online modes and new drum and guitar peripherals (although it will still be compatible with the original RB instruments). There is currently not a lot of information available, but the press release promises more details at this year's E3.
Tiny and I will be there to bring you all the new info as we discover it, so stay tuned!

I would honestly be more excited but RB1 was so expensive in Europe that I feel like this will be a no goer for me also :(
A September US Rock Band 2 release date is actually a January '09 Canadian release date. Fact.
A timed exclusive on the 360? Dubya... Tea... Eff?

A January 09 Canadian release is actually a June 2009 release over here in the UK. Fact.
Rock Band is great fun, I know it's based on pitch of the voice but my vocal average of 95% says otherwise, I want to believe I have a beautiful singing voice. I want to believe.
DLC and instrument backward compability - so all us current Rock Band-ers can just pick up the game and keep on rockin.
Good news for me and my 189 songs and counting! :)
-m.
Neo: my point was that we're in the same region as the States, so there was no logical reason for the month-and-a-half delay for us getting Rock Band.
I know.
Maybe they couldn't get them through the border, Activision paid off the border guards?
Wouldn't put it past them.
Least you didn't get punished with new Disturbed songs for waiting. :'(
Yes! New drums! Sorry, but after spending all this money on rock band and having 3 of the drums break, I had to get rid of the game. I miss it, but I don't even want to think about it until they have new quality drums, or even if the pedal breaks, just make sure the @#%!ing pads work 100%=[
Neo: true.
